Friends

A good friend is someone who you can be stupid with, talk to easily, and fun to be around.  It's possible to have as many friends as you want, but it gets hard having a lot of friends, and not having enough time to spend with all of them.  Having close friends is easier than having a 'best friend'.  A best friend I guess is someone who you tell everything to, and knows everything about you, and will always be there no matter what.  Facebook friends aren't really considered friends because you may not know all of them personally; they may just be aquaintences. You may not come in contact with them in a daily basis, and it's hard to be friends with someone just over the computer.

Taking pictures in the dark was sweet because of all the different light effects.  

Homecoming

Ever since my freshman year, we have never had school on the day of basketball homecoming because of snow delays. This homecoming week was actually really boring.  I didn't dress up half of the days because I either didn't want to.  The days were repeats of previous homecomings, like Pajama day.  The mini floats were okay, but I can't say much considering I didn't help build them.  The seniors' float was funny.  The pep assembly was actually really boring, and I would have rather been in class.  I didn't really care who became King, so I didn't even vote. 

Valentine's Day

Personally, I don't really care for Valentine's Day.  It's just another day.  To me, the card and candy industries only care about selling their products, and don't actually care about the value of their product.  Valentine's Day isn't necessarily an important holiday because you should tell people how much they mean to you all the time; you shouldn't have to have a special holiday just to tell them. If you're single on Valentine's day, it makes it even worse because seeing all of the happy couples is just a reminder of how you're going to be forever alone.   Your mom and dad do not count as your Valentines, because Valentine's Day is a relationship-centered holiday.  In elementary school, the only thing that was special about it was giving cards, and receiving candy.

2/6/12

So, it's February already, and there's probably been a total of a week of snow.  Normally by now, school has closed at least three times.  There's been three days when we've had delays because of fog, but other than that, nothing.  I just hope that we have a bunch of closings before the end of winter, otherwise I'm gonna be mad.

Photography

I don't take pictures.  So, I have no experience with photography. The only pictures that I take are random funny things on my crappy camera phone.  I don't like working with Photoshop either.  I'm not good at it.

Exams

For the semester exams, I think that I did pretty well.  In most of my classes I got A's or B's.  I don't think that we should have mandatory exams because I believe that teachers try to cram too much material into one test, and expect their students too remember all the materials they learned.  It's impossible to do for all seven of my classes.  All it does it create stress.  High school exams are not good practice for college, considering college is completely different from high school.  In college, you know the material that you are studying all along due to the syllabus.  All of my exams were comprehensive for the most part, except for government, which was the hardest.  I studied the most for Chemistry and my major classes. I'd say I spent about 12 hours studying altogether.
